This beautiful and clean 1990 Grand Wagonner 4x4 is presented here for your consideration. This vehicle has been in my family for nearly 10 years. It has been meticulously maintained with love ever since our acquisition in 2004. It served as a weekend car (not for daily driving), thereby keeping the miles low. Just 69,540 actual miles. By keeping the car in a temperature controlled garage, we have kept the paint (and wood) looking fantastic. Owing to her age, nearly every mechanical component has been overhauled or replaced, at a significant financial investment. All of the records and receipts of these repairs have been kept. Despite being 13 years old, this car starts, idles, drives, turns, cruises and brakes without flaw. I have recently used it for multiple 200 mile trips to and from my summer home. This car is ready to drive anywhere in the country. The only reason for sale is that after 10 years it is time to move on. She's ready to find another loving home.
The many pictures really tell the story of this Grand Wagoneer. Upon looking them over, you will surely agree that it has been well cared for since new. A title history is available and there are NO title defects or history of any body or storm damage, insurance, salvage, repossession, rollback or anything else of concern. The 4x4 mode is working properly, so with just the flip of an interior switch you will find sure footing in snow or mud. Most of the time you will be in 2WD, thereby not unnecessarily using the strong 4x4 system. I've rarely used the 4WD but have recently tested that it works.
The engine compartment is well sorted, and the engine runs as it should, firing strong on all eight cylinders. The oil pressure gauge reads where it should and the automatic transmission shifts smoothly through all gears with NO slippage. A tow package was specified and there is an electrical connection in place. This high trim level model includes factory air conditioning (upgraded to modern specification), power steering and brakes, power windows and locks (all power windows and doors working properly), and powered tailgate glass (also working properly, which is rare on this model/year). Every interior switch and light has been brought up to as new standard. The power brakes work perfectly with no pulling or binding and she drives perfectly straight. Four (4) Michelin LTX AT 235/75R15's have been recently fitted (an expensive tire), with nearly all tread depth remaining (see pictures). Shock absorbers were also replaced at the same time. This Grand Waganeer has had a veritable multitude of of mechanical equipment replaced, including some expensive components. Recent work includes the carburetor, radiator, brakes, brake lines, alternator, electrical connections, battery, exhaust, steering, tie rods, AC compressor, oil pressure switch, dash glass, dash overlay, vent glass, tires, shocks, central electrical control module, accelerator pump, accelerator linkage, starter, ignition module, heater hoses, tail gate lifter, and more. All of this work has been performed during the the last 20k miles!
Partial list of new equipment/repairs:
- New alternator and electrical connections
- New battery
- New exhaust
- New AC compressor and upgrade to 134 coolant & charge (over $1500 invested in the A/C alone)
- New oil pressure switch
- New dash glass
- New dash overlay
- New vent glass
- New tires & shocks (over $1500 invested)
- New electrical control module
- Repaired accelerator pump & linkage
- New Starter
- New brake lines
- Carburetor Overhauled
- New ignition module
- New heater hoses
- New radiator (over $600 invested)
- New steering linkage and tie rod (over $700 invested, drives perfectly straight now)
- New tail gate lifter
- Power tail glass lifter repaired
The air conditioning system on this car has been completely redone and brought up to the most recent standard. Completely new compressor, seals, and charge. Over $1500 has been spent on the A/C alone.
ALL of the work has been done in the last 20k miles, much of it being just in the last 10k miles! The engine and mechanicals have all been very well maintained. A veritable fortune has been spent on new equipment and repairs. Most importantly all of the records of these repairs have been meticulously kept and will come with the car. Over forty pages of repair records are present.
There is minor rust near the wheel wells as pictured (which is expected on any car of this age). It is nothing that couldn't be easily repaired and repainted to brand new condition under a full restoration.
Please take a close look at the remarkable interior of this Jeep. Typically the leather and fabric on these are worn out, torn, or split, not on this one. Both front buckets are in excellent shape with no cracks, splits, or holes. The rear seats are in equally good shape, as are the door panels, headrests, and carpet throughout including the cargo area. Your passengers and guests will be surprised when they see it for the first time and notice that it has leather and power everything - a trendsetting classic with original amenities! The dash is also impressive, with clear gauges and electronic clock, all working flawlessly. There is also an factory overhead console with an electronics compass, thermometer, and map lamps, all working perfectly. If you are comparing this car to other restored Wagoneers, notice that this car does not have a moonroof, this is a good thing. The roof of a car is the absolute worst place to ad weight. The aftermarket moonroofs you'll find on some Wagoneers, present a failure point resulting in electrical problems and leaks, and actually reduce headroom (to make room for the components). You won't have any of those problems on this Wagoneer. The roof is as solid as it was when she left the factory with the original wood grain roof luggage rack is also present and undisturbed. Most importantly the original wood exterior siding (an irreplaceable part) is in pristine condition. The original radio has been upgraded to a modern JVC system with a theft-deterrent removable face and two auxiliary remotes included. Jennsen multi-way audio speakers are present throughout.
A timeless classic fun to drive and gets approving nods wherever she goes.
Thank you for your consideration and enjoy.

NHTSA investigating 2015 Jeep Cherokee after new owner's total-loss fire [w/video]
Fri, Jan 16 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2015 model year Jeep Cherokee after a single example caught on fire in California. This investigation will decide the cause, scope and frequency of this possible problem and will decide whether a recall is necessary for 50,415 potentially affected examples. According to Automotive News, the Cherokee's owner only purchased the CUV about two days before the fire, and it had been driven less than 100 miles. The new buyer reported parking the Jeep, and noticed a smell like smoke. Shortly after, the vehicle was consumed in flames. There were no injuries, but much of the incident was captured on video. NHTSA is also trying to decide whether another report is related. In this case, a driver noticed smoke under the hood of a 2015 Cherokee with just 45 miles on it, while driving at 60 miles per hour. According to the complaint to the agency, "the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired," but FCA was notified. Read below NHTSA's announcement of the Preliminary Evaluation. CBS News 8 - San Diego, CA News Station - KFMB Channel 8 INVESTIGATION Subject : Engine compartment fire Date Investigation Opened: JAN 13, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15003 Component(s): ENGINE Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) JEEP CHEROKEE 2015 Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received one complaint (VOQ) of engine compartment fire in model year (MY) 2015 Jeep Cherokee vehicles alleging a severe engine compartment fire incident resulting in a total vehicle loss (VOQ # 10672201). The consumer alleges that the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames approximately 20 feet high within seconds of parking the vehicle. The complaint alleged white smoke coming from under the hood immediately after parking the vehicle and while the ignition is off. In addition, ODI has identified field report data submitted as part of Early Warning Reporting that relate to the alleged defect. A Preliminary Evaluation has been opened to assess the cause, scope and frequency of the alleged defect. The following VOQ numbers are associated with the issues discussed in this opening resume: 10670034, 10672201.
Certain Chrysler owners eligible for buyback program
Mon, Jul 27 2015Certain car owners whose Chrysler vehicles contain dangerous defects will soon have a way to get rid of their lemons without losing money. As part of an agreement with federal regulators, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has agreed to buy back more than 500,000 vehicles susceptible to veering out of control without warning at above market-value prices. The deal mainly covers certain models of RAM trucks, the Dodge Dakota pickup and Dodge Durango SUV. Further, owners of more than 1.5 million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokees at heightened risk for lethal fires are eligible to trade in their vehicles at above market value or, alternately, get a gift certificate if they prefer to have repairs made. Chrysler has "a heavy responsibility to make sure the products they make are safe for the traveling public," said Mark Rosekind, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "... Here, we are sending an unambiguous signal to industry that if you skirt the laws or violate the law, or don't live up to the responsibility that consumers expect, we are going to penalize you." The buy-back and trade-in options for motorists come as part of an unprecedented penalty NHTSA slapped against Chrysler for violating federal motor-vehicle safety laws. Chrysler will pay a $105 million fine, the highest ever levied by the regulatory agency. In addition to the buy-backs, Chrysler also agreed to an independent monitor for three years. Investigators had outlined problems in the company's conduct in 23 recalls that affected more than 11 million defect vehicles. As part of a consent-order agreement, Chrysler acknowledged it did not notify vehicle owners of recalls in an effective manner and did not notify NHTSA of safety problems. Though those recalls affected millions of drivers, the buy-back and trade-in options are only for a small portion of the vehicles involved. Because Chrysler struggled to fix the problem and no repair was apparent, Rosekind said the buy-backs are reserved "for customers who didn't have a remedy." Buy-backs are for trucks and SUVs affected by three recalls that occurred in 2013 (recalls 13V-038, 13V-527 and 13V-529), that addressed a rear-axle pinion nut that could come loose and cause a loss of vehicle control. Those recalls covered 579,228 vehicles, including 2009-2012 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500 trucks, 2009-2012 Dodge Dakotas, 2009 Chrysler Aspen and the 2009 Dodge Durango.
Jeep Wrangler Polar Edition coming to America
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Jeep originally took the wraps off its Polar Edition Wrangler at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, and at the time, we figured this would be a Europe-only affair. (Perfectly fine, since we US customers haven't exactly been lacking special edition Wrangler models over the years.) But now, and as Jeep says, just in time for winter, the automaker has announced that the ice cold Wrangler will be hitting North American showrooms in November.
Based on the Wrangler Sahara model, the Polar Edition can be had in either two- or four-door body styles, with a unique Hydro Blue paint job as the featured color. (Buyers can also opt for less-special Billet Silver and Bright White hues.) Other exterior enhancements include a body-colored hardtop, 18-inch gloss black wheels, the Powerdome (power bulge) hood, and unique decals all around the body.
But the Polar Edition isn't just about some paint and stickers. Jeep has fitted this Wrangler with a Dana 30 front axle and Dan 44 rear axle, as well as the Trac-Lok anti-spin electronic rear differential. Like all US-spec Wranglers, the Polar Edition uses Jeep's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, producing 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Both a six-speed manual and five-speed automatic transmission are available.
